I am not familiar with the 2 litre version, the 3 litre (7MGE and 7MGTE) are more common as an import. Straight six, DOHC, cast iron block, alloy head, fairly strong, had crappy headgaskets standard, OK with a metal aftermarket headgasket though. The same era Supra was available in Australia in turbo and non turbo form, so engine, gearbox and diff parts are available. They were the gun Toyota turbo six before the 1JZ and 2JZ came along.

That's enough, it's a Skyline forum after all.

Thanks SK - after a bit of google searching, I now know that this engine is the 1G-GTE twin-turbo - Approx 150kw. Same engine came out in some Supras and Celica's (I think)

And - yeah you are right about the Skyline forum thing - I guess there is another section on SAU for this kinda stuff (too many sections now, I don't like it - too many decisions to make.. he he)

Cheers,

The 1GGTE is a boat anchor, don't let anyone tell you otherwise

The only motor for a vehicle like that is a 1JZGTE, 7MGTE is a lazy motor not worth the investment.
